Concert details
Returning to 5BMF after their brilliant performance on our 2010-2011 season, the Baroque masters of QUICKSILVER bring their stunning virtuosity and engaging historical performance practice to Queens and Brooklyn this season!
Led by violinists Robert Mealy and Julie Andrijeski, the ensemble will perform their program OFF THE BEATEN TRACK. Taking its inspiration from the outskirts of Europe in the seventeenth century where societies enjoyed fascinating and inspiring cross-cultural exchanges, Quicksilver’s program celebrates compelling music from Italy, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, England and Sweden. Comprised of captivating and rarely heard gems from “off the beaten track,” the program features works by Castello, Mielczewski, Bertali, van Wichel, Falconieri, Murcia, Marini, Kempis, Blow and Schmelzer.
PERFORMERS:
Robert Mealy, violin
Julie Andrijeski, violin
